Shock as government CUTS welfare for Dementia sufferers: told they have to “care for themselves”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Until now, Theresa May’s government seems to have put an invisible ring-fence around dementia when it comes to social security, welfare and benefits cuts.

Probably because, in the main, sufferers of dementia tend to be pensioners – who also happen to be the most important demographic for the Conservative Party when it comes to support.

In fact, as opposed to other sufferers of illness or disability who have been decimated by Tory welfare cuts without a peep of sympathy, Tory MPs are extremely keen to show support for dementia sufferers.

Theresa May herself is an official supporter of ‘Dementia Friends‘ – an initiative by the Alzheimers Society which seeks to increase awareness from MPs and other decision makers:

      Family should take care of their elderly if at all possible. It’s the best care as even some of the nicest facilities have caused harm to elderly dementia patients as the title of nurse does not guarantee proper respect or compassion towards them. Family members will at least try and protect the patient compassionately and with the added love that transcends the stress a dementia patient can cause any caregiver.

      It is sad we ship off a person in their most vulnerable years to strange and unfamiliar facilities that unduly burden a fragile mind more and exacerbate the situation. And drugging someone into a quasi catatonic state is not a solution.
